The function field_end(), located in the file libavcodec/h264.c
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/h264.c;h=66174778df67f1f946b1f217c1bbcb2a64748691;hb=HEAD#l2503
Lines 2528 - 2531 contain call to the end_frame function, processing its
return code and writing diagnostic message.
However, the function return code, stored in the variable err, doesn't
depend on this error code.
Moreover, return code of the function field_end is entirely ignored.
This function is called from
static int decode_frame()
(file libavcodec/h264.c, line 4037
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/h264.c;h=66174778df67f1f946b1f217c1bbcb2a64748691;hb=HEAD#l4037
)
and
static int decode_slice_header()
(file libavcodec/h264.c, line 2621
http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/h264.c;h=66174778df67f1f946b1f217c1bbcb2a64748691;hb=HEAD#l2621
)
So, when an application calls avcodec_decode_video2() and the hardware
decoder cannot decode frame, the application anyway receives got_picture =
1, but the frame is bad.
It my case the frame is filled with zeros, resulting in green rectangles.
